Sometimes Sebastian wasn't lucky with work. Sometimes they'd want him to permanently work for them.

He would be fine with that, since it'd give him steady income and work.

But these people didn't go about it normally.

They tortured him. Beat him into working for them, and didn't even use him after.

They just want to use his name.

They didn't last long after Sebastian felt better, and after scoring a good amount of cash. They were killed in any gruesome and brutal way Sebastian knew, at the time.

No one beats him into submission.
